Product Information

Full details

The Posca PC-3M fine tip paint markers are designed for artists, crafters, and hobbyists looking for a versatile tool to handle detailed work across a wide array of surfaces. These water-based markers provide bold, opaque pigment that excels in mixed-media projects, personalization, and precise illustration; however, users should note that while the ink is permanent on porous surfaces, it may require a sealant for long-term durability on slick materials like glass or polished metal.

FAQs

Are Posca markers permanent?

They are permanent on porous surfaces like paper and wood, but they can be wiped off non-porous surfaces like glass unless a sealant is applied.

Can I blend these markers?

Yes, you can blend them while the ink is still wet or use a damp brush to create watercolor-like effects.

Do I need to prime the markers before the first use?

Yes, shake the marker well and press the tip down on a scrap surface until the ink begins to saturate the nib.

Are these markers safe for children?

Posca markers are water-based and non-toxic, making them generally safe for children with adult supervision.

How should I store them?

Always store them horizontally with the cap securely fastened to prevent the ink from settling or drying out.

Troubleshooting

The marker is not producing any ink.

Shake the pen vigorously for 30 seconds and gently press the tip onto a firm surface to prime the valve.

The tip has become clogged or dried out.

Remove the nib and soak it in warm water for a few minutes, then dry it completely before reinserting.

Ink is bleeding through the paper.

Use thicker cardstock or mixed-media paper designed for markers to prevent saturation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your PC-3M markers, always shake the pen well with the cap on before use to ensure the internal ball agitator mixes the paint properly. When using for the first time, depress the tip onto a piece of scrap paper repeatedly until the ink flows consistently. Compatibility is vast: they work beautifully on porous materials like wood, fabric, and paper, as well as non-porous materials like metal, plastic, and glass. For care, always store markers horizontally to prevent the tip from drying out or flooding. Ensure the cap is snapped on tightly after every use to maintain the moisture of the nib.
